Ikani Surf Resort

The place is very nice if you want to have peace and quiet or maybe its the time when i was around. The front beach is not ideal for a swim due to sharp rocky edges.. you will go to the lagoon which is a bit far from the place but still manageable. All in all i had a great experience

Very friendly staff. Recommend small table and chair in room, luggage bench/ rack, dining room entertainment such as karaoke, and connections to locals for transportation service to get to other destinations other than the hotel.

The Ikani Surf Resort sits on the coastline at Pagudpud just across the road from the beach and the clear water of the South China Sea. It is striking because of its white painted low rise chalets with thatched roofs set around its own pool. It is also striking because, very disappointingly Pagudpud is a rather run down ramshackle place that spoils its otherwise attractive natural assets. So much more could surely be contemplated to clean the place up and attract more visitors. But such is the apparent will of the locals. The Ikani is in my view just about OK. It’s rooms are very basic but do have aircon. The rooms however let themselves down with their bathrooms that evidently have the rather ubiquitous drainage problems and offer the visitor an extremely unpleasant occasional stench! There is a single restaurant on site which serves reasonably good local food for breakfast and dinner. This is useful since I didn’t see any other restaurants in Pagudpud that would attract a visitor.

If you want to enjoy the beach and detach fromthe busy metro, this is a good ppace to consider. Its close to blue lagoon and a bit far from everything. Cell signal ia poor in the area.they have a wifi but it doeant reach the bungalow area. The room is a bit spacious. The place is Bali inspired. They have a pool if waves is too high. I would have given it a 5 if not the admin woman was a bit considerate to our driver. Other than that, the place is ok. The food thats included on the breakfast is also good. But if you're paying for it extra, i think its a bit expensive.
